Men with high testosterone are more likely to cheat on their partners, new research has suggested. Meanwhile in women, the hormone has been linked with solo sex, or lesbian flings. While there are many theories about why men and women cheat, new research has shed some light on the role that increased levels of testosterone in men could play in that particular sexual behaviour.
Recent research also has shed some light on what’s going on in the brain of a usually honest person, which may cause them to cheat. While it is generally assumed that the amount of “willpower” a person has can impact their decision to do something dishonest, research, from RSM has revealed that willpower, (aka “cognitive control” in psychology speak), does not serve the same purpose for everyone.
